| Well, I have Phals in sphag and bark. Some Phals hate it some love it. I generally am an underwaterer, so that's probably why it works for me, keeps them hydrated longer. I do know that my species Phals like it a lot. It takes care to learn how to use it correctly.
I would like to point out, that changing to bark from sphag, you are going to have to water more often than you would with sphag. I do strongly suggest the skewer method, as the problem you might have had with sphag was not letting the medium dry enough to the center before watering again. It also could have happened where you bought it, as most places douse the Phals until they are a soggy mess. Good luck and welcome to the board.
